Good womens shoe stores in Toronto

[minya]

So my girlfriend is looking for some new shoes... specifically something with a "chunky heel"... and she wants to know what the best places to look for girls' shoes are. I realize 99% of us are guys, but I figure some of you Toronto guys might have a significant other that knows where to look...

any suggestions appreciated.

Hey Minya,

I guess it all depends on how much she's willing to spend...

there's the usual suspects like Aldo, Pegabo, Calderone, etc...I trust you know where to find those..

Then there's Browns/B2 (Eaton Centre, Queen St., Hazelton Lanes), and Nine West (again, Eaton Centre, Bloor St)

Also on Bloor, there's a couple of places worth checking out..specifically around the Bay-Bloor corner..there's Davids and then a couple of places on Bay itself, just north of Bloor..can't remember the names offhand but take a walk in that area and she should be able to find what she's looking for.

peace.

triniboy, thanks for the help. She's not willing to spend TOO much (I'm a lot more of a fashion whore than she is) but, yeah, those were the areas I was thinking of looking at... we'll wander around next time we're in the city.

No worries..I'd say your best bet is the Bloor area cuz you find all price points in that one stretch...and oh, I almost forgot..Town Shoes is on Bloor as well.

You're right, it's only a 10 hour bus trip away. No problemo.

you can also check Designer Depot and Holt Refrew last call and all Winners locations.

Heel Boy on Queen West. Pac Mall if she has small feet.

aDj, very helpful. Thanks. Is there a Renfrew Last Call in Toronto proper? (I don't have a car, so I can only get to stuff via public transit...)

[aDj]

There are 2 locations:

Steeles west of Yonge St.

Vaughn Mills just opened this week.

You would be suprised with Winners. My girl has had some good finds recently.

vaughan mills is a goldmine for girls. the NTer-kinda guys live in markham/richmond hill so they're at vaughan mills every few days, picking the mens section clean as soon as new items drop.

however, i guess girls don't expect style to be found in the suburbs so they pass it over. i've found amazing deals there at adidas and nike outlets, and polo and ben sherman at the winners (i'm a girl).

Can you get there on public transit?

[triniboy27]

Not too sure mate..it's a bit of a ways out there..

I went there this past Monday...my first time out there and personally, i thought it was a colossal waste of time...the holt renfrew last call outlet didn't have great deals, and their selection wasn't the greatest...

nike outlet: meh..nothing of any real substance, and their prices aren't really that big of a deal...i copped a nike man u football for $14 though...

adidas outlet..same thing..

was totally unimpressed...

but then again, i'm not a mall person so....

that being said, i'm sure your girl could find some shoes there somewhere....

yrt.ca for public transit. the buses are pretty infrequent though, it seems.

listen up and listen good - take her to specchio (it's off of bloor, down the street from davids - another good idea), just bordering yorkville area. google the name and you'll get the address (they have a toronto and montreal store). not from there but was visiting recently and it's fa buu lus!

very $$, but maybe you can convert her to your fashionable ways.
